I haven't used it as yet...I've just put it together, and I loved doing that! the wood is beautiful to feel, and I used the Finnish sandpaper to soften all the edges and corners...then used beeswax as a protection .....
I'll be threading (if that's the right word) it this weekend with help from friends at Eesti Maja, ready to commence weaving an Estonian belt
